Boluda Sees Cristiano Ronaldo At Real Madrid; Wants Juande To Stay

Los Blancos’ interim supremo is proving to be just as stubborn as his predecessor, especially when it comes to the transfer of a certain Portuguese winger…

Real Madrid stand-in president, Vicente Boluda has remained defiantly adamant that Cristiano Ronaldo will leave Manchester United to play for the Santiago Bernabeu outfit in the very near future.

Boluda further exhibited the typical doggedness required to lead the club when he commented on the future of several key personnel as well as the team’s chances of silverware this term.

“There are socios (club members) who say to me that they do not like [Predrag] Mijatovic, but he is a player who has given a lot to Real Madrid and at the moment, he is doing a good job for us. He knows a lot about football,” the president said in his interview on Cadena SER program, ‘El Larguero’.

Mijatovic, the club’s sporting director, has come under enormous pressure this season due to a number of transfer bungles and he has now been put under heavy scrutiny after being accused of receiving commissions for player purchases.

“I am going to put myself on the line now and say that if someone has evidence that he has been receiving commissions, I will personally accompany him to the courts,” Boluda boomed.

The focus then shifted to the future of current coach, Juande Ramos, and eternal transfer target, Cristiano Ronaldo.

“I would like to extend Juande’s stay at the club, but I can’t do it if none of the [presidential] candidates request it.

“And as for Cristiano, I see him playing at the Bernabeu in the future,” he added.

Los Blancos successfully cut Barcelona’s lead at the top of the Primera Division standings to 10 points at the weekend and Boluda’s confidence of silverware success has doubled.

“I am convinced that we are going to win La Liga and we will also be in the final of the Champions League on May 27,” he said.

The presi concluded by hinting that the elections will be held on the first week of July.
